Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 247 Pigsy Carrying His Bride
The chaos that Tokyo had finally managed to quell has returned, but the person who caused the chaos is no longer there.

A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, and the luxury car, worth 300 million yen, weaved through the rain. Its streamlined body blurred the light and shadow, making it look like a beast that had escaped from its cage.

Lu Mingfei is a person who values ​​his life very much. He never drove fast when he was young, even though he has more than enough qualities to drive an F1 racing car.

The only exception was when he rescued Aze and Renata in Spain and drove the stolen Aston Martin to its limits in order to shake off the police and pursuers.

Later, after starting a family and establishing a career, he became even more cautious and never engaged in any dangerous driving behavior.

But now, the Lamborghini's speed has reached 200 kilometers per hour.

Japan is surrounded by the sea, so if you want to see the sea, you can go directly to Tokyo Bay to enjoy it to your heart's content.

However, the area was filled with too many cement barrels, making it one of the Sheqi Hachike's favorite dumping sites for corpses.

Since the goal is to take Erii to change her mood and forget the unpleasantness of tonight, we naturally can't go to a place full of water ghosts.

Moreover, since this is the first time I'm taking Erii to see the sea in this timeline, we definitely need to go to a place that has special significance.

In the passenger seat, Erii's pale profile was reflected in the car window, raindrops bursting and dissipating in her eyes like a silent firework.

Do you know where we're going to see the sea?

Lu Mingfei freed one hand and grasped Erii's cold, restless little hand. They didn't interlock their fingers, but simply wrapped it tightly, as if he wanted to transfer all the warmth of his body to her.

By this time, they had left Tokyo and arrived in Yokohama. Erii's emotions were slowly recovering, and the influence of the clapper sound seemed to have dissipated.

But there was no smile on her face, only her usual indifference and lack of vitality; clearly, the tremor that came from her very soul could not dissipate quickly.

Hearing Lu Mingfei's voice and feeling the warmth from the back of her hand, Erii tilted her head slightly, her pupils reflecting the boy's figure driving with one hand.

He shook his head slightly.

She refused to speak again.

Lu Mingfei knew that the monster lurking deep within Erii's bloodline had been awakened by the sound of the clapper because of his mistake.

Although he didn't dare to show his face, he still had a negative impact on his girl.

The best way to eliminate these effects is not medicine or time, but his companionship.

"We're going to Ehime Prefecture, a place with many memories." Lu Mingfei held her hand, his voice gentle.

Have you seen "Tokyo Love Story"?

Erii shook her head. She came into contact with electronic devices very late, and before meeting her brother, she basically spent her days on her sickbed.

He needs to be injected with sedatives every day, so he doesn't have much time to be awake, and naturally, he has no time for entertainment.

It was Genjiro who bought her a game console and taught her how to play. It was also Genjiro who bought her anime DVDs and comic books, gradually filling her world with new experiences.

She used to be like a fledgling bird living in a nest, needing her brother to constantly bring her spiritual nourishment from the outside in order to endure the loneliness that she didn't know how long it would last or whether she could persevere to the end.

Now, an outsider chick has led her out of the safety of her nest, wanting to take her to experience the real world firsthand.

It started out as a fun adventure, but adventures always involve danger.

Just like the sound of the clapper just now, the helplessness and fear of her body possibly losing control at any moment seemed to be swallowing her whole.

Fortunately, just as he promised, Sakura resolved the danger in time, shielding her in his arms.

So, although I was a little scared, it was actually okay.

She knew someone would take her brother's place and protect her well.

"That was a very touching TV series." Lu Mingfei gently touched Erii's cold little hand with his thumb, his tone carrying a hint of reminiscence.

Amidst the sound of the restaurant's clapper, he gained another memory of "himself"—

The boy, looking utterly dejected, sat upright in front of the television, his nose stinging, his eyes brimming with tears, and his lips tightly pressed together, trying his best not to cry.

On the television, the finale of "Tokyo Love Story" was playing. At 48 minutes past the hour, Kanji went to find Rika on time for the first time, but Rika had already left on the train at 33 minutes past the hour.

One fell in love too early, the other understood too late.

If he hadn't come into this world, perhaps Lu Mingfei's life would have been like that of Nagao Kanji, who wavered in love.

He might, at the urging of that red-haired witch, confess his feelings at the literature club's last gathering with the dandelion that Chen Wenwen liked, only to become a pathetic background figure, forced to watch helplessly as his favorite girl and the boy he hated most got together, just like the Monkey King in A Chinese Odyssey, his back view resembling that of a dog.

When he is overwhelmed by humiliation, the red-haired witch who orchestrated all of this will appear as a savior angel to rescue him from his misery and give him the dignity and respect he needs most.

He could be made a lackey without any effort, ordered around at will, and never betrayed.

Given Angers' high regard for "Lu Mingfei," he will definitely make a trip to Japan when the White King is revived.

And thus, driven by fate, he will inevitably cross paths with Erii and become inextricably entangled with her.

Can a timid and indecisive guy grasp that seemingly immature but actually incredibly important relationship?

"Rika and Kanji eventually broke up."

Lu Mingfei held Erii's gradually warming hand and calmly told a story from a third-person perspective:
"For Kanji's happiness, Rika decided to withdraw and leave quietly. This time, she did not wait for Kanji."

Ahead lay a long, straight stretch of road. He turned his head to look at the girl who was quietly listening to his story.

He expected to see a pair of unreadable eyes, but instead, he saw a girl's peaceful sleeping face.

She got up early, played all day, and went through a short but mentally exhausting battle. In the end, she was too tired to stay awake and fell asleep.

It seems she really doesn't like sad stories.

Lu Mingfei pursed his lips, smiled gently, squeezed her hand lightly, and turned to look ahead.

Raindrops splashed on the windshield, blurring the view, only to be swept away by the wipers the next moment.

Memories flooded back. One night in her past life, the theme song of Tokyo Love Story was playing on TV. Three years later, Rika used her last three "Maruko"s and a wave to bring this ill-fated love story to a close.

Erii nestled in his arms, sobbing uncontrollably, her tears soaking his shirt. He gently held the weeping girl close, stroking her soft, long hair, and softly comforted her, saying that what she felt was only a story, and that their first love was a perfect ending, something many people would envy.

Then the girl in his arms bit her lower lip, looked up at him with teary eyes, and said she wanted to go to Ehime Prefecture to see the most beautiful sunset.

He doesn't like sunsets, so he wants to take Erii to see the most beautiful sunrise.

The Lamborghini streaked across the highway in a cobalt blue streak, raindrops shattering into tiny crystals on its carbon fiber body before being flung into mist by the speed boost to 220 kilometers per hour.

The world reflected in the rearview mirror isn't a farewell that recedes into the distance, but rather unpleasant memories gradually disappearing into the rain and mist.

As night falls, the hustle and bustle of the day fades away, and the four kingdoms fall silent.

The roar of the sports car pierced the desolate night sky, finally ceasing its roar in the small town at the southwestern tip.

Lu Mingfei parked his car in the open-air parking lot and looked at the girl who was sleeping soundly with her hand tightly in his, wondering whether he should wake her up.

The evening breeze in June was still slightly cool, especially since we were near the sea. With the car windows open, we could hear the sound of the tide and feel the coolness seeping into our bodies with the evening breeze.

Lu Mingfei tried to free his hand and took off his suit jacket to cover Erii with it.

However, the moment she tried to pull her hand away, Erii grabbed it tightly, and then her beautiful, sparkling eyes stared intently at her, filled with a little fear, as if she was worried about being left behind.

Lu Mingfei smiled, rolled down the car window, and let her hear the sound of the rushing tide.

Erii's eyes brightened, and the lingering drowsiness vanished in the blink of an eye: "Have we arrived at the beach?"

She had just taken a nap and had a dream. The dream wasn't about a continuation of the proposal concert, but about her nestled in Sakura's arms, crying her heart out, while he gently patted her back and softly sang to cheer her up.

Listening to that gentle singing, she gradually stopped feeling scared and sad.

Like the rotten leaves, the monster lurking in one's heart returns to peace under the influence of music.

And so, she was able to speak again.

"The sea is beyond the mountains."

Lu Mingfei squeezed her hand, successfully pulling away this time. He opened the car door, went around to the other side, and helped Erii, whose body was still a little weak from sleeping all the way, out of the car. He then took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

She left in such a hurry that she didn't have time to change her clothes; the girl was still wearing a beautiful long dress.

Although the mixed-race constitution allowed the two to ignore the cold wind, it still wasn't exactly comfortable.

Lu Mingfei held Erii's hand, his eyes brightening slightly before dimming again, a warm current spreading from their tightly clasped hands.

"It's so warm." Erii looked down at her small hand being held in Lu Mingfei's palm, thought for a moment, and then changed to a more comfortable position.

She nestled her slender, white fingers between Lu Mingfei's fingers, and the warmth spread even faster, instantly making him feel no coldness, as if he were soaking in a warm hot spring.

"Hehe, that's what you call a warm man." Lu Mingfei laughed, strolling with her towards the nearby town.

"He's only warm to you; he's a limited-edition warm guy."

Erii didn't understand what "warm guy" meant, but when she heard that he was a limited edition who was only warm to her, she was very happy and leaned closer to him.
"Sakura, it's so dark up ahead, should we go hiking?"

After Erii fell asleep, Lu Mingfei slowed down the car. It was almost dawn, and the lights in Meijinji Town were all quiet, with only the chirping of insects echoing in the fields.

Erii has a strong bloodline, but she is actually not very brave. Even the staff dressed as monsters can scare her, let alone this street with a style that is still stuck in the 1950s.

There was no light, no pedestrians, only a cold wind howling. The blue banner hanging in front of the Japanese-style wooden house fluttered in the wind, as if a few zombies or evil spirits might appear at any moment.

Therefore, Erii was clinging to Lu Mingfei, holding his hand, like a novice who was both bad at and loved playing horror games.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei snapped his fingers, and a small flame quietly appeared on the tip of his index finger.

The flame was only a small cluster, yet it illuminated the area within a two-meter radius as bright as day. Instantly, Erii's fear vanished, and she even curiously reached out to touch the flame that seemed to appear out of thin air at Lu Mingfei's fingertips, completely unaffected by the evening breeze.

"Be careful, it's hot." Lu Mingfei didn't stop him; the fire was very cold.

He didn't know the principle behind it, but he just wanted to do it and he did it.

Erii grew up in Japan and the farthest place she had ever been was a shrine in the mountains of Kobe. Moreover, her older brother always had to accompany her when she went out, and sometimes they had to avoid being seen by others. It's true that she has never seen much of the world.

So once she got a light source, even though the town looked gloomy and uninteresting, she still explored it with great enthusiasm, and even tried to push open the doors of other people's shops.

Lu Mingfei quickly stopped her. They came to enjoy the sea, not to become a pair of thieves.

Several households had dogs, and perhaps hearing the noise and smelling the strangers, they started barking from a distance, their voices carrying far into the quiet night.

To avoid being mistaken for a dog thief, Lu Mingfei was about to unleash a powerful and imposing display to intimidate the dogs, but after taking only a few steps forward, the dogs began to whine and quiet down, as if they had realized they had targeted the wrong target. They tucked their tails between their legs and retreated back into their cages, not daring to utter a sound.

Lu Mingfei was somewhat speechless, but didn't pay too much attention, and continued to lead Erii deeper into the town.

It was already past midnight, and the mountain tram had long since stopped running, but Lu Mingfei didn't care. He took Erii on the tram and mysteriously told the girl to watch him perform a magic trick.

Then Erii saw him snap his fingers, and the unmanned train suddenly made a strange noise, and then began to work, swaying and shaking.

The gears meshed with the rails, making a sound like Gotham Sheriff, and slowly climbed up the mountain.

The mountain tram had no windows and swayed slightly in the evening breeze. Erii felt like she was on a roller coaster, but a real roller coaster without seatbelts. She held onto Lu Mingfei's hand tightly, almost squeezing into his arms.

Just like in a dream, except I didn't shed any tears.

The car stopped at the Jizo Temple on the mountaintop. Lu Mingfei led Erii out of the car and they walked slowly along the path that miners used to take into the mountains decades ago.

Erii, wearing her newly bought Jimmy Choo high heels, was a little unsteady on the uneven road. She originally wanted to hold onto Lu Mingfei to avoid falling, but before she could even put her hand on his shoulder, he squatted down first, put his arm around her knees, and carried her on his back.

Their chests were pressed against each other's backs, with not a single gap between them.

Erii's long black hair fell down, and the evening breeze gently brushed against Lu Mingfei's cheek. The scent of shampoo mixed with the smell of the sea, giving it a Head & Shoulders feel.

"Is it heavy?" she asked softly.

There's still a distance to the top of the mountain. She ate a lot yesterday and is worried that she'll weigh more than usual.

"It's very light, you need to eat more." Lu Mingfei weighed it in his hand, intending to tease Erii like he was weighing a piglet, but the soft and bouncy push-back feeling came over him, and he felt that it was enough and there was no need for it to get any bigger.

To avoid distracting himself, he changed the subject: "Are you hungry? If you are, I'll fish for you to eat later."

"I'm not hungry." Erii shook her head, gently hooking her arm around the boy's neck, her fair face pressed against his neck. Before even a fraction of her voice could be carried away by the wind, it had already reached his ears.

Breath hits my ears, wet and warm.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but whistle cheerfully.

"What a strange melody." Erii hadn't heard it before, and blinked as she asked him what song it was.

The boy chuckled mischievously, feigning a virtuous gentleman:
“He is called Zhu Ganglie and Gao Cuilan.”
